Story of Prophet Moses and his Ten commandments
The Great Prophet Moses and his Ten Commandments.

The Moses is considered a Prophet and is revered equally by Muslims, Jews and Christians and is said to have received The Torah and the Ten Commandments from the Almighty God himself. Moses is the second most discussed prophet in Quran after Prophet Muhammed.

 He was born in a time when war threatened and the large increase in the number of his people concerned the Pharaoh who was worried that they might help Egypt's enemies. His Hebrew mother, Jochebed, hid him when the Pharaoh ordered all newborn Hebrew boys to be killed, and he ended up being adopted into the Egyptian royal family. After killing an Egyptian slave-master, Moses fled across the Red Sea to Midian where he tended the flocks of Jethro, a priest of Midian on the slopes of Mt. Horeb. After the Ten Plagues were unleashed on Egypt, Moses led the Hebrew slaves out of Egypt, across the Red Sea, where they based themselves at Horeb and compassed the borders of Edom. It was at this time, that according to the Bible, Moses received the Ten Commandments. Despite living to 120, Moses died before reaching the Land of Israel.

The Ten commandments are the most imprortant teachings, which is the foundation stone of Judaism. God Through Moses instructs his people the following commandments.

I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery;

 Do not have any other gods before me.You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me, but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments.

You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name.

 Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. For six days you shall labour and do all your work.But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work—you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the alien resident in your towns. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and consecrated it.

 Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

 You shall not kill

 You shall not commit adultery.

 You shall not steal.

 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour. You shall not covet your neighbour’s house; you shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbour.

Although Islam doesn't list all these commandments in the same order in The Quran but confirms them in different verses.

While this subject can be very touchy for most people, my opinion is that there has to be a middle or common ground that we all can find. I do appreciate that youve added relevant and intelligent commentary here though. Thank you!

За умеренную суму они могут получить все, что хотят, причем жрицы любви от этого получат не меньше удовольствия, чем их клиентки. Большинство женщин, которые имеют такие наклонности, стараются их скрыть, потому что уже имеют семью и мужа, который может негативно отреагировать на такие желания своей супруги, а это чревато скандалом и, что еще хуже, разводом. Именно по этой причине, женщины предпочитают тихонько заказать эту услугу у проститутки Сочи, и отлучиться на часок, другой, чтобы удовлетворить свои природные желания и фантазии.
